History in 1/72

We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72.
As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog.
Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

The Masters were made by Frank Ziegler and here is the text he sent me.

As far as the plates according
to Chasseriau, which Yves Martin has published in his book The French Army
of the Orient 1798-1801, can be believed, in some units there were worn the
bearskins of the grenadiers and sappers with the new uniform in 1799-1801 in
Egypt and Syria, after the regulations of General Kéber.
Here is the uniform version of the grenadiers of the 85e Demi Brigade de Ligne with the bearskins
with front shield, according to the contemporary uniform plates I mentioned
above.

Our hobbyfriend Tony who was very interested in the 3rd century Roman army we have in the shop asked if Darek can sculpt him two Palmyrian infantrymen. These together with conversions of Carthagians (for the Guard) are the first troops from Zenobia's army.

We will bring the figures in the shop too. At the moment he sent me some great photos which I wanted to share with you.

Our hobbyfriend Norbert Richem sent me these photos of his 1/72 wargame/diorama of Borodino.
I am really impressed how many projects for this battle I have seen in the last month.

So I guess JJ's idea of having ordered the Saxon GDC to make will be interesting for some other collectors too.

Another subject to fit to this battle comes from our hobbyfriend Francis Long. He asked for some Russian Trainriders in different poses he wants to use for a huge Leipzig wargame.
Massimo made these for him - within four weeks in our shop.

After Andy produced all the different tents in 1/72 he had the idea that a Napoleonic camp would be a nice idea. Well, I with my usual bloody battles was not much impressed, but I know there are much more peaceful collectors around:-)

Six years ago we worked on the charge of the Saxon cavalry at borodino. Photos from the diorama you can see here.

Now a collectors friend asked us to produce the Saxon Garde Du Corps to have a proper partner for the Zvzda Zastrow Cuirassiers. At the diorama we used the old Strelets and converted Zastrows or 1806 Italeri Prussians.

But now Massimo sculpted a complete new set of them. Looks like we have to make a revival of this diorama in 2022:-)
